I said I would be back the next day with more about decorating the tree and what came in the mail for my birthday but caught a nasty cold virus and it slowed me down a little.
For my birthday I got this wonderful package in the mail containing this.......

| I just opened the box...a GO! Cutter....Yipee!! |
 |
| The goodies in the box, plus the family bought me several dies including the holiday die, bird die, and mats. |

My grand kids needed teacher gifts and I thought it would be fun to make the gifts so we made these cute little ornament trees for their gifts. The kids had a lot of fun making them. My husband calls the Suess trees because they are rather whimsical, bright and colorful.

| The whimsical gift tree! |

The grand kids love what we call "projects" any time I say "Do you want to do a project?"
they know we are going to make something fun! I love it, it keeps them
busy and they use their hands, hearts, and creative minds to make
something.

| The completed trees, what fun! |
We decorated our tree a couple of weeks ago for my birthday. The grand kids did most of the decorating which was great fun. I wanted to show some of my favorite ornaments that my Mom made - she is very creative. It's where I get my artsy, fun, creative side. I love to do anything creative. I do think my Mom is better at it but I love to do it. Here are few of the ornaments she has made over the years.
 |
| In the first years of our marriage my Mom made this 7" Christmas tree using costume jewelry as the decorations. |

 |
| This snowman couple is 2" tall and sit in a tiny gift bag on our Christmas tree. |
|
 |
| My favorite is this tiny little bear Mom crocheted when I was expecting one of my kids. He always has a place near the top of the tree. Love him and love my Mom! |

Hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures of a few of my ornaments and the grand kids teacher gifts. Just in case I don't make it back on here in the next couple of days. Hope your Christmas is blessed and filled with JOY!
Peace,
Karen
